The Xirrus Wi-Fi Array is the only Wi-Fi device that can effectively replace a traditional Ethernet workgroup switch and provide users a wired experience over Wi-Fi. The Xirrus family of Wi-Fi Arrays provides an unparalleled level of capacity, range, coverage, and performance to deliver Wi-Fi service that can replace the functionality of a traditional Ethernet switch. Now the ability to securely deliver data, voice, and video (Triple Play) services to large user populations is realizable – and all at reduced deployment and ownership costs compared to traditional wired networks.

• Up to 16 Integrated Access Points in a single device
• Embedded Wi-Fi Controller/switch
• Multi-sector Antenna System
• Built-in Gigabit Switch
• Dedicated Wi-Fi threat sensor and spectrum analyzer
• Wi-Fi stateful Firewall

Key Features

• More Coverage per device - delivers 3-4x more coverage than traditional APs
• More users per device - supports 50+ power users and 100’s of casual users per device
• High Performance Wi-Fi - up to 8X the bandwidth and 14X the throughput
• Best RF management - multiple tunable radios, automatic channel, cell, interference, and load optimization of the RF environment
• Highly Secure Wi-Fi - integrated Wi-Fi Firewall, integrated spectrum analyzer, and dedicated Wi-Fi Threat Sensor
• Highly Resilient Wi-Fi - resiliency at the radio, Array, uplink, backhaul and power level
• Line Rate Encryption - line rate encryption within the Array – no bottlenecks
• Future Proof - modular design, flash upgradeable, and performance ready for 802.11n
• Reduced Cost - 75% less devices, cabling, switch ports, and installation time
• Layer 3 Roaming - allows devices to seamlessly maintain connections between subnets

Enterprise-Grade Security

• Supports the latest wireless encryption and authentication standards including IEEE 802.1X, WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and IEEE 802.11i AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) for data protection
• Monitors the RF environment for rogue access points and other security threats by dedicating one 802.11a/b/g IAP as a full-time Wi-Fi Threat Sensor
• Integrated Spectrum Analyzer helps identify interface and provide insight into network behavior
• Integrates with Xirrus Defense Module application to provide a proactive Intrusion Detection / Intrusion Prevention System (IDS/IPS)
• Interfaces with external RADIUS servers to ensure proper authentication and accounting of users – also includes an embedded RADIUS server to support smaller deployments
• Physical security of the Array is provided through a Kensington locking mechanism
• Authentication for newly deployed Arrays can be automated using the optional Xirrus Management System
• Each Array ships in a secure mode with the RF interfaces disabled ensuring the system is completely secure from installation through start up
• Dynamic VLANS enable the Array to dynamically assign wireless stations to VLANs specified by RADIUS policy settings
• Stateful firewall protects wireless network from unauthorized traffic
